We had a wonderful Easter weekend, with a visit from our good friend Sandi and her daughter Claire, who is only a couple of months younger than Elsie and Jess. We had a great time running around the city together, and just as much fun spending time at home with the kids. Just being able to get to know your friends' children is a blessing, especially when they live as far away as Montana. We hope that our children will grow up to be friends and look forward to seeing each other too.
The kids opened their Easter baskets before church, and each had a different response. Elsie did not want to disturb anything in her basket, while Jess inhaled most of his candy within the first 10 minutes. Claire sampled hers, but saved most for later.
After church, they all dove into their chocolate bunnies. At this point, we were starting to reconsider the wisdom of giving them chocolate and candy in the first place. We seemed to witness 3 two-year olds turn from pretty agreeable children into little terrors. By the end of the day, we were all exhausted. But at least the adults got to have a nice Sunday meal . Jill and Dave came over and we made lamb and potatoes which was delicious, thanks to Sandi's recipe.
The classic bath photo.
Practicing on the potties together. Actually, when Claire wanted to practice, she insisted on taking all of her clothes off and squatting down and grunting while pretending to use the potty. Wonder where she gets that from?
The trio on the swing.
Just playing outside at the park was one of the favorite activities.
And we figured out that we could fit 3 car seats in our back seat -- what a relief!
